"Djibouti president is following other states in lodging accusations against Iran due to failure of Djibouti government to adopt an independent policy," Qassemi said.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman underlined that such provocative approach will drive the region into chaos.

"Djibouti president has got far away from reality on the ground in the region repeating illusory remarks detrimental to the international resolve to restore peace and security in the region, including Syria, Yemen and Bahrain," Qassemi added.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said that the Djibouti president should learn a lesson from the history of the world and the region and take a realistic approach and avoid following others' lead.

Qassemi's remarks came following Djibouti president's remarks on Wednesday claiming that Iran has been intervening in the affairs of many Arab countries, including Yemen, Bahrain, Syria and Iraq, inciting sectarian strife and destabilizing peace and stability in these countries.

He also said that Arabs have the right to combat this alleged destructive role played by Iran in the region using various available and possible means.
